However, in searching the universe so far no livable planets have been found other than earth. We seem to have one of a kind. But then, Joseph Smith couldn’t have known that at the time he wrote his prophesy.
Scientists keep searching for other planets that could sustain life. Most of what they find are probabilities that there once was water or some other theory, but no hard evidence so it is mostly science fiction at this point.
Oh, I know that, but that doesn’t matter to them. Smith and Young taught there were men on the moon who dresed like Quakers and a later Prophet Joseph Feilding Smith said we would never get to the moon.
New quote for you Elise...
We will never get a man into space. This earth is man’s sphere and it was never intended that he should get away from it.”
“The moon is a superior planet to the earth and it was never intended that man should go there. You can write it down in your books that this will never happen.”
- Apostle Joseph Fielding Smith at stake conference in Honolulu, May 14, 1961
